महाभारत - वन - सद्गुण

अब्रुवन् कस्यचिन्निंदामात्मपूजामवर्णयन् ।
न कश्चिद् गुणसंपन्नः प्रकाशो भुवि दृश्यते ॥

- महाभारत, वन

abruvan kasyachit nindAm AtmapUjAm avarNayan ।
na kashchid guNa sampannaH prakAsho bhuvi dRushyate ॥

- mahAbhArata, vana parva

Can not find a single person who categorically never praises himself and never criticises others. So rare is that quality.

- Mahabharata, Vana

महाभारत - वन - जीवन

न जीवनाशोऽस्ति हि देहभेदे
    मिथ्यैतदाहुर्म्रियते किलेति ।
जीवस्तु देहांतरितः प्रयाति
    दशार्धतैवास्य शरीरभेदः ॥

- महाभारत, वन

na jIva nAshaH asti hi dehabhede
     mithya etad AhuH mriyate kileti ।
jIvastu dehAntaritaH prayAti
    dashArdhataivAsya sharIrabhedaH ॥

- mahAbhArata, vana parva

When the soul changes the body, there is no loss of life. One must not lie that there is death. When the soul changes form, the body unites with the five forces of nature.

- Mahabharata
